Ruthlandian Baseball Union

RBU North Division

V's Edge Vipers 1-0
It was a classic pitching duel between two super southpaws -- Volusia's Raul Sandoval and Valmara's Gerry Bart. Neither of them gave up an earned run. The only run in the game scored on an error. V's shortstop Scooter Perez led off the first inning with a triple and then scored when Bart botched an easy grounder hit by left fielder Luis Arroyo. Sandoval (3-2) held Valmara to just three hits in the 1-0 decision. He fanned six Vipers and walked two. Bart (1-1) went seven innings and surrendered just four hits, struck out five and issued one walk in a very tough loss. Reliever Danny Blauser pitched the eighth and retired Volusia in order.

The Vigilantes (8-14) snapped Valmara's three-game win streak. In spite of the loss, the Vipers (13-8) remained in first place in the RBU North race, a half-game in front of runner-up Glasco (12-8).

Colfax Scores Early, Beats A's 5-4
In a tight tussle Colfax shot ahead 5-0 after two innings and managed to hold on for a 5-4 victory over the Glasco Athletics. Loser Arnie McFalls (2-2) was knocked out of the box in the four-run second. The Blasters rocked him for five runs and six hits. Center fielder Tatsuya Sasaki, left fielder Blinky Brandon and right fielder Pat Lott all led the way with a pair of hits each. Harry Manning (3-1) was hit hard and often, but picked up the win. He allowed 11 hits and four runs before he departed in the eighth. The bullpen saved the day for him as Walt Sellers and Pat Langlais retired the last five batters in order. It was Langlais' 3rd save this season.

The Colfax Blasters (12-9) are in third place in the RBU North Division, while the Glasco A's (12-8) are in second place, a half-game behind Valmara (13-8).

Wright's Walk-off HR Wins 15-Inning Battle
It was nip-and-tuck for fifteen innings and it was finally decided by center fielder Harry Wright as he crashed a walk-off homer that gave Elnora a 2-1 triumph over the Far Mountain Redhawks. Outstanding pitching prevailed for both sides. All-Star starter Tyrone Gray and Redhawk starter Vic Vaux both went nine innings. Gray was superb as he fanned 12, walked only one and gave up only one run and five hits. Vaux was equally impressive -- five hits and one unearned run. Even the bullpen was brilliant. Wally Tidwell tossed five innings, whiffed four and held Far Mountain hitless. Mike McCabe also hurled five innings, gave up no runs and was touched for three hits. Stevie Howard (1-1) took the win with a scoreless fifteenth and Doc Rutledge (1-1) sustained the loss by serving up the game-winning homer. Elnora outhit the Redhawks nine to six.
This tied the IPA mark for longest game. On May 5th Hartsdale edged Luxora 1-0 in a game played at the Hellcats home park.

Elnora has now won their last three games and Far Mountain has dropped four in a row. The two clubs are tied for fourth in the RBU North with 9-12 records and are four games out of first place.
